Note: For dataset/study 1, the age category was based on age at the last NLR (i.e., most recent age). For dataset/study 2, the age category was based on age at the timepoint at which NLR was calculated. In dataset 2, older adult and geriatric age categories were grouped together due to low sample size. NLR values presented are raw values. NLR = neutrophil %/lymphocyte %.
